On May 20, 2025, the 27th edition of Bakery China entered its second day, with crowds continuing to fill the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. At the same time, the iba trade fair was also taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany. The simultaneous hosting of these two world-class events highlights the global vibrancy of the baking industry—and reflects the strong momentum and rapid growth of China's baking market.

     China's baking industry is experiencing rapid growth, with increasing product variety and a maturing consumer market. More and more independent bakers and small baking startups are emerging, driving demand for professional equipment that offers not just basic functions, but also higher performance, greater flexibility, and customization options.

Is energy consumption efficient? Is the failure rate low? These critical aspects can’t be judged by appearance alone.
